I am working on a card for a camp. I cased a little from another cute Pun Fun card that uses the Cutie Pie paper.
I am not sure about this card.
Do you think it is bad to have the stripped ribbon and stripped paper to go different directions? My DH says the mustard isn't very ocean like. I tried it with wasabi but then it looks like Christmas.
Help!! What would you change?

Maybe a Blue whale??
Cute card though!

I love this set and that whale is just too adorable. Personally I think the striped ribbon is too much with the striped paper. Too many stripes. I would either change the ribbon to solid or change the patterned paper to something besides stripes.

I would agree... I think the card is super cute and I love the fun colors, but I think the striped ribbon is too much... maybe just go with Real Red ribbon (or perhaps even the stitched Wild Wasabi would be okay), or try a strip of paper there instead with maybe a few brads or something to spice it up where your bow would have been. Hope that helps!

Cute card. I agree with the above posts. I think the striped ribbon is what is making it kind off balance. I would put a strip of red paper or red ribbon in place of the striped ribbon.

This is so cute! But I do agree with your DH, the mustard isn't very oceany. Maybe change the mustard to a blue paper to match the blue stripe in the patterned paper? And then maybe a solid red ribbon?
